Indonesia's Widodo visits wet market with Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim

Indonesian President Joko Widodo greeted supporters at the Chow Kit Market in Kuala Lumpur with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim during a two-day visit to Malaysia. During the visit, Widodo called for stronger collaboration with Malaysia to protect palm oil products threatened by a European Union trade law.

The European Parliament adopted the new legislation in April that will ban imports deemed to be driving deforestation, throwing the bloc's trade muscle behind a global fight against climate change. Widodo said he "deeply appreciated" ongoing cooperation between the two countries, referencing a recent visit by Indonesian and Malaysian officials to Brussels to combat the EU deforestation law.
